How to place the aluminum covering on the wall

Depending on the type of panel, it can be placed one way or another, as well as using different kinds of tools. In this article we are going to choose aluminum papers or aluminum films, products that provide a unique look to the wall.

It is important to remember that it is not the same aluminum paper that we can use in the kitchen, they are similar to vinyl papers although in this occasion the plastic film is replaced by a very thin and durable aluminum layer.

To place this material you have to clean the wall very well and leave it free of nails, studs, hooks or any other object. Also, if there is a crack, fill it with a specific product, let it dry and when it is dry, sand the entire wall well. It is very important to leave the wall completely smooth and clean, because any kind of imperfection will be noticed when placing the aluminum cladding.
